I got one of these little bastards and cannot get it to stick to my windshield. Does anyone know the trick with these? There's a flat suction cup you under that dial, you set it on the surface and then twist that dial to lock it down but mine just falls off.

Droid Turbo 32MB in "ballistic nylon" ... stupid name, but a cool looking, fast phone.


BenQ 27" that was about $150 with I signed up for an Amazon credit card. I'll probably regret both decisions.

A pair of Cooper RS3As to replace the tread-bare ones on my car.


Not pictured: the new timing belt and waterpump for the car, the 100' of quad-shielded cable needed to hook the TV up, and a roof rake for the house, since we have had a snowstorm every week for the past month.

As much as I love my iPhone, I have to say, Motorola is making probably the most aesthetically pleasing phones at the moment. If I had to ditch it, I'd definitely go for a leather Moto X, that's a nice looking phone.

Throw a nice incipio case on it, you'll never know it was ugly, and it's the IMO nicest phone on the market with Motorola's feature set.

Friend of mine put his brand new Sony Z3 (with gorilla glass on both sides) on a granite countertop that was ever so slightly not level; phone fell off the counter after a few minutes. No damage, but it's now encased in a case. I guess the situation is a culmination of poor phone design and poor purchasing decision - still a nice phone phone regardless

Psssh, that's dumb. Bulky and heavy is the way to go. That's why I embed my phones in a block of cast iron 6in. thick. I pay a small Guatemalan child to carry it around for me.



In other news I bought some dangerously sharp things to rub my face against:

Feather DE razor


and a sample pack of DE razors to go with it.

$24 for all of it via Amazon.

I found Feathers to be terrible in my first DE razor and didn't come to appreciate them until I had gotten an adjustable. My portable kit still uses the fixed gap DE razor and Astras, while my home setup uses a Fatboy + Feathers. Love that thing, way too tempted to pick up a better condition gold one than the beat up one I have. That and I am currently taking a break from shaving to be bearded.

Because you should be rotating them over the lifetime of the tires, meaning that they will end up wearing evenly overall. If you only have 2 bad tires, you (or the previous owner) hosed up at some point.

If you replace your fronts the same time you replace your rears on something rwd with power you're an actual retard.

And therein lies the problem; do I drop an extra $300 or so on two additional tires, just so I can rotate them, or do I just buy two so that I can buy other cool things and then post in this thread? A real pickle, no doubt about it ...

Nah. Not with those razors. I've used those for years and never really cut myself. Now a straight razor is another story.
